See if you can work with data from Strava. Generate groups of people that do similar activities in similar areas, and then somehow invite them to group rides. Those that show up could be a great start on getting some network effect.

Though to be honest I have no idea what kind of info is available from Strava, but I feel that the more you can do on your end and the less involvement required by users, the further you could get with a greater number of people. Relying on people coming to you to sign up for yet another social network seems like a lot to ask of people.


The frontend of HN?


I think that’s actually not true… @dang?


You forgot that the government forces everybody to use a single service, and will sent a SWAT team to any company not using AWS.

Indeed. If you don't shave your yak when you should, your yak(s?) will shed profusely and the hair will clog not only your shower, but also all the plumbing in your house. Thus, creating a kind of "kuldge debt".



Aaaargo!


Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?


why does hn censor humor? that censorship is creating a feedback loop where creative individuals are left out of the discussions, which seem to be becoming more and more pedantic.

his post, while perfunctory, is still a reference to something culturally significant

imo flagging would be better reserved for more severe infractions and let the community decide (via vote) what is "substantive"


This isn't censorship (dang just made a request). Creative people and everyone is welcome; you just have to follow the rules. If you're really after puns and low effort posts then check out reddit, but even there some communities (like legaladvice or science) will "censor" a user for such posts.


Which specific HN rule bans humor?


Google-maps directions—set to cycling—gives gradient info. I don't use that feature regularly—and not for accessibility planning|assessment—but if you haven't checked it out, it may be worth a look.


> So you don't know what a new yorker is?

I don't know what a "yorker" is, never mind a new one.

To be fair though, I'm guess you meant one of these two; either a "New Yorker" (citizen of the state of New York), or a "New Yorker" (citizen of the city of New York, New York).

Or would that second one be a "New York, New Yorker?"

-------------------------------------------------------

For example:

The new new New Yorker was new to New York, New York. New New York is known for it's saturation with new New Yorkers. Now I know that would be a bit nuanced, but nevertheless I knew you as a new New Yorker of "The New New York" (New York) would find it relevant. I just didn't know if you knew that yet.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"

"... is a grammatically correct sentence in American English, often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity and the usage of homophony and homonymy."

"More easily decoded, though semantically equivalent, would be:

Buffalo from Buffalo... whom other buffalo from Buffalo bully... [themselves] bully buffalo from Buffalo."

Bread and circuses.

Think about who can partake in Fandom. What an elevated position they're in, globally. What a luxury such indulgence is.


Yes. Very.
